Thank for the advise but didn't work. Did exactly as you
said, couldn't get onto this site for one example, and
trying to re-install from the 'repair or re-install'
page it jammed up about halfway and wouldn't go any
further.

I think as I have removed the registry keys which had the
infection, this is where the problem lies. I'll just
have to keep trying.
